Description:
The normal hint on gtk2 can be tricked into faulty behaviour.
However this is only possible (or I have only found that way) with TIPHtml.
To reproduce (TIProDesign must be installed, for HTML hints):
- Hover over some source, so you get the html hint.
- Move the mouse over the hint
- The hint will have at least a link to where the identifier is defined.
Hover over that link.
A 2nd hint (a normal hint will display.) Something is forcing that
hint open as long as the mouse is over the link
- While the 2nd link is open, use the right mouse, to pop up the context
menu
now all three are open: html hint, normal link, context menu
- Move mouse outside the IDE (while popup open) and click desktop or
none-IDE win
The context menu closes. Both hint stay open.
Try to return to lazarus. The normal hint is kept there and blocks all else.
Works fine on Windows
Of course IPro can be fixed to close the normal hint on context menu.
But that is not the point. The hint should not block the IDE
